PASTURES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT GRASS IS TENDER, SOFT AND SWEET
Last Line: LIE DOWN TO SLEEP.
Subject(s): FIELDS; PASTURES; MEADOWS; LEAS;
THAT grass is tender, soft and sweet,
And well you young lambs know't:
I know a pasture twice as sweet,
Although I may not show't;
Where my five fingers go each night
To nibble, like you sheep,
All over my love's breast, and there
Lie down to sleep.
